PStill for Linux

PStill can convert PostScript, EPS, TIFF and JPEG files to PDF, transcode PDF to PDF and optional also generate pre-press ready EPS and PS files. On Windows it can be used as direct To-PDF printer, producing PDF directly from any application - even over the network. What PStill can do for you : Convert to PDF, PDF/X and PDF/AEasy and high-quality EPS, PS, PDF and several raster image formats to PDF conversion on Windows and MacOS X, able to Concat multiple files of all types in the output, also as mixed set. You can just drop in some PS, PDF and e.g. JPEG files and PStill will Create one PDF from the input set. PStill can output also to PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3, a focused subset of PDF for `pre-press` work. PStill knows about CMYK and spot colors and can handle overprinting. Starting with version 1.72.18 PStill also creates PDF/A-1b, a special version of PDF for archiving purposes. PDF to PDF TranscodingYou have a PDF that cannot be printed or processed? PStill can simplify, reprocess and recompress PDF-Files, this process also known as `Transcoding` create a new PDF that is often smaller in file size, can be optional encrypted/secured and contain only a uniform set of font types. TrueType fonts can be autoconverted to PostScript Type 1, fonts can be subsetted and missing fonts included. PStill can Detect and remove duplicate elements in the PDF. Text can be converted to outlines which makes it perfect for creating `fontless` PDF. Transcoding can be used to `repair` bad PDF or simplify the PDF structure so more limited output devices can process it. Batch Convert to PDF, PDF/X and PDF/APStill can run as command line program and can be easily scripted (BAT, Shellscript, PERL, VB, etc.). The command line converter runs on Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP HPUX and allows you to integrate PStill into any application that is able to call external programs to get full PDF generating functionality.
